Opportunities & Activities for Young People

Skipton Rotary endeavours to create opportunities for young people through activities that build character & confidence along with new skills in the process.

Thousands of youngsters take part every year in Rotary youth competitions which in most cases take the form of regional heats followed by a national final. The majority are categorised into junior, intermediate and advanced age groups.

Cooking amongst young people is a valuable life skill. Contestants prepare and present a three course meal within a pre-set budget and time limit, which is judged by an expert panel.
